Festool STF D225/48 P36 SA/25 Saphir Abrasive Discs

At a Glance: Heavy-duty 225mm P36 Saphir abrasive discs for extreme coarse sanding, removing thick coatings and clearing stubborn wallpaper residue with compatible Festool PLANEX long-reach sanders.

Remove stubborn coatings and prepare demanding wall and ceiling surfaces efficiently with Festool STF D225/48 P36 SA/25 Saphir Abrasive Discs. Developed for heavy-duty operating conditions, the high-performance Saphir abrasive is particularly well suited to extreme coarse sanding of filled substrates, thick coatings and wallpaper residue remaining after stripping. The aggressive P36 grit delivers rapid material removal where finer abrasives would clog or work too slowly. Each 225mm disc attaches quickly to a compatible sanding pad using the Festool StickFix hook-and-loop system, allowing worn abrasives to be replaced without tools. The pack contains 25 discs for compatible Festool PLANEX long-reach sanders, making it ideal for professional painters, decorators, drywall installers and renovation contractors.

Heavy-duty abrasive performance for stubborn surface removal

Festool Saphir abrasives are designed for extreme working conditions and aggressive material removal. The durable abrasive construction helps remove thick, difficult coatings and persistent wallpaper residue efficiently while the StickFix backing supports quick, convenient disc changes.

Product Highlights

  • Extreme coarse sanding: Aggressive P36 grit removes substantial material rapidly from demanding wall and ceiling surfaces.
  • Heavy-duty Saphir abrasive: Developed specifically for extreme operating conditions and stubborn coating removal.
  • Removes thick coatings: Ideal for sanding back heavy surface layers on filled substrates.
  • Clears wallpaper residue: Helps remove persistent adhesive and backing residue after wallpaper stripping.
  • Large 225mm diameter: Provides efficient coverage across broad wall and ceiling areas.
  • StickFix attachment: Allows each abrasive disc to be fitted and replaced quickly without tools.
  • PLANEX compatibility: Designed for specified Festool PLANEX 225mm long-reach sanders.
  • Professional bulk pack: Supplied in a pack of 25 discs for renovation, painting and drywall applications.

Extra Information

  • The STF D225/48 P36 SA/25 contains 25 Saphir abrasive discs.
  • Each abrasive disc has a diameter of 225mm and a grit rating of P36.
  • The product is designed for extreme coarse sanding rather than intermediate or finish sanding.
  • Saphir abrasive quality is intended for heavy-duty operating conditions and stubborn material removal.
  • The StickFix backing allows the disc to be attached directly to a compatible hook-and-loop sanding pad.
  • The abrasive is compatible with the PLANEX LHS 2 225 EQ(I), PLANEX LHS 2-M 225 EQ, PLANEX 225 EQ and PLANEX LHS-E 225 easy.
  • Align the extraction holes in the abrasive with those in the sanding pad to obtain effective dust removal.
  • For subsequent surface refinement, change to a suitable finer abrasive after the heavy coating or residue has been removed.
  • The long-reach sander, sanding pad, interface pad and dust extractor are not included.

Pro Tips

  • Use P36 only for aggressive removal, then progress to finer grits before applying paint, skim coat or decorative finishes.
  • Begin with a moderate machine speed and increase it only when the surface and coating respond predictably.
  • Allow the abrasive and sander to remove the material without applying excessive pressure.
  • Align every extraction hole carefully with the corresponding opening in the sanding pad.
  • Connect the PLANEX to a suitable Festool mobile dust extractor to reduce airborne dust and abrasive clogging.
  • Replace the disc when the abrasive is heavily clogged, damaged or no longer removes material efficiently.
  • Test the abrasive on a small inconspicuous area before sanding an unfamiliar coating or substrate.
  • Keep the sanding pad clean so the StickFix surface can grip the abrasive securely.
  • Use overlapping passes to avoid deep grooves and uneven material removal.

How to Use

  • Disconnect the long-reach sander from its power supply before fitting the abrasive.
  • Inspect the sanding pad and confirm that its StickFix surface is clean and undamaged.
  • Select one STF D225/48 P36 Saphir abrasive disc from the pack.
  • Centre the disc on the 225mm sanding pad.
  • Align the abrasive extraction holes with the corresponding holes in the sanding pad.
  • Press the abrasive firmly onto the StickFix surface across the complete disc.
  • Connect the sander to an appropriate dust extractor where required.
  • Select a suitable machine speed for the coating and substrate.
  • Place the sanding head flat against the surface before beginning the sanding pass.
  • Guide the machine in smooth, overlapping movements without remaining in one position for too long.
  • Apply only light, controlled pressure and allow the abrasive to perform the material removal.
  • Inspect the surface regularly to avoid sanding too deeply into the underlying substrate.
  • Switch off and disconnect the machine before inspecting or replacing the abrasive.
  • Remove the worn disc carefully from the sanding pad and fit a replacement where required.
  • Progress to a finer abrasive once the thick coating or wallpaper residue has been removed.

Safety

  • Wear suitable eye and respiratory protection while sanding.

  • Identify the coating and substrate before sanding and check whether they may contain hazardous substances.
  • Do not sand asbestos-containing materials or lead-based coatings without the required specialist procedures, equipment and authorisation.
  • Disconnect the sander from its power supply before fitting, removing or inspecting the abrasive disc.
  • Ensure the abrasive is centred correctly and attached securely to the complete sanding-pad surface.
